Description

This week’s episode is a full plate of parenting reality, laughter, and some honest soul-searching...

Catch Up

  • ​Katy’s planning a dreamy girls’ trip to Paris (cue croissants and calm before the chaos).
  • ​Vicky opens up about first trimester struggles, food chatter and mental noise during hyperemsis. We also chat about placenta capsules—are they worth the hype or just expensive placebos?


Mum Club Recommends

  • 1923 Season 2 – More cowboys, more drama, more reasons to stay up past your bedtime.

Big Topic: Are You Really Ready for Baby #2?

  • ​We put Vicky in the hot seat with a brutally honest Q&A:

◦What does “outnumbered” really mean to you?

◦Are you ready for a permanent hum of anxiety and guilt?

◦How much washing is too much washing?

◦Can your relationship handle round two?

◦And the biggest question of all: can you actually afford it?

Expect relatable laughs, big feels, and a few truth bombs for any parent thinking of expanding the chaos.

Nonsense Time

Listener-submitted gold: “Lies We Tell Our Kids” – From made-up bedtime rules to creative snack rationing, it’s peak parenting fiction and we love it.
